Ever been to Venice? Place is all hard surfaces. Pretty much no vegetation. Hotter than blazes in the summer. And it’s full of pick pockets, sweaty tourists and Europeans that don’t regularly bathe.
Ok so parts of Europe aren’t great either, other parts are. Well done now you’re getting the concept.
Uninhabitable is a strong word.

The specific current at risk of shutdown is the AMOC, which transfers heat from Greenland to Europe. Europe would become colder, not warmer. It's also no laughing matter for anyone and not worth a pissing contest because:
1. It risks 10ft of sea level rise over the course of ~20 years due to the decimation of the Greenland ice sheet since all the heat would get stuck there. All oceanfront cities would become New Orleans, except without the preexisting levees.
2. Millions of people in all countries will fall victim to famine.
So yeah hahahaha. The weather in Europe may abruptly change and ruin the lives of everyone on the planet. You really got him.
Thank God virtually all of the climate doom and gloom predictions have been wrong so far!
Describing scientific observations and analyses of climate change as "doom and gloom" is hardly a refutation of their findings. It's the lazy way out of reasoned discussion.

Jesus Christ. For the one hundredth time it was hyperbole, an exaggeration and that should have been obvious.
